Novel nanoparticle made of common mineral may help keep tumor growth at bay
Engineers found a way to keep a cancerous tumor from growing by using nanoparticles of the main ingredient in common antacid tablets.
'Snow' better way to clean coordinate-measuring machine probes
Researchers have designed and developed an in-situ snow cleaning method specifically for CMM styli after finding general cleaning solutions available on the market today were unfit for purpose.
New method for producing tiny cracks in electrodes may mean big boost for nanoelectronics
The next generation of electronics, as well as ultra-sensitive medical diagnostics, could depend on near atomic scale cracks - or nanogaps - in electrodes. Now, researchers have developed a method that could pave the way for mass production of nanogap electrodes.
Hydrogen uptake causes molecular 'avalanches' in palladium nanoparticles
When hydrogen is cycled into palladium nanoparticles, it alters and degrades the particles' structure over time due to strain.
Engineers finding uses for ultra-thin semiconductor lasers in medical, consumer fields
A new type of ultra-thin semiconductor laser under development can be integrated with mainstream electronics on the same silicon substrate with increased capacity and energy efficiency.
Cooling with metal muscles: Engineers develop the refrigerator of the future
Researchers are developing a new method of cooling in which heat and cold are transferred using shape memory materials made from a nickel-titanium alloy.
Physicists create artificial 'graphene'
An international group of physicists has created an artificial material with a structure comparable to graphene.
Cell squeezing enhances protein imaging
Compressing cells allows delivery of new fluorescent tags to track proteins in living cells.
Scientists present smallest man-made lattice structure
The structure's struts and braces are made of glassy carbon and are less than 1 micron long and 200 nm in diameter. They are smaller than comparable metamaterials by a factor of 5.
